The AGM Taipan V2 10-256 1x Thermal Monocular is a professional-grade thermal imaging device designed for observation and detection applications. This successor model features a 256x192 thermal sensor resolution with a 10 μm pixel pitch, providing clear thermal imaging even in complete darkness or through light obscurants like smoke and fog. The device operates with a 1x magnification factor, offering a wide 18.5° field of view for comprehensive situational awareness. With a thermal sensitivity of less than 40 mK, the monocular detects subtle temperature differences across various environments.

The compact design measures approximately 150 mm in length, 60 mm in width, and 50 mm in height, weighing approximately 350 g for portable operation. Constructed with a durable magnesium alloy housing, the device maintains operational reliability in demanding conditions. The thermal detection range extends to approximately 1000 meters for human-sized targets, supported by multiple color palettes including white hot, black hot, and rainbow for optimal image interpretation.

The integrated 3.2 inch LCD display provides clear visualization of thermal data, while the IP67-rated construction ensures protection against dust and water immersion up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes. Operating temperature ranges from -20 °C to +50 °C, making it suitable for various climate conditions. The device includes digital zoom functionality, image capture capability, and video recording features for documentation purposes. Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 6 hours of continuous operation, with charging accomplished via USB-C interface. The thermal monocular serves applications including security surveillance, wildlife observation, search and rescue operations, and industrial inspection tasks where thermal detection capabilities are required.
